When the Pirates signed Bobby Crosby this past offseason, we knew we were going to hear lots of joking comparisons between him and the other Crosby in town. Before Crosby was traded to Arizona shortly before the deadline, there were plenty of Yinzers at PNC Park who would yell things like “Stick to hockey, Crosby!” […]

Well, late last night we learned the Pirates acquired catcher Chris Snyder from Arizona, but didn’t know who the Bucs were giving up. The trade is now complete: the Pirates are sending away D.J. Carrasco, Bobby Crosby, and Ryan Church. That’s right, Ryan Church is gone. Another big-league team actually decided to trade for him. […]

This one started off quite well from the Bucs, who realistically couldn’t have been expected to do much on the road against the hottest team in baseball. They jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead, extended it to 2-0, and the struggling Ross Ohlendorf was looking great–perfect through 3.1 innings. Then the Rangers’ bats woke […]

Soooo….yeah. Only 15,000 people. A 7-2 loss that puts the losing streak at 10. SIX, count ‘em, SIX errors. It wasn’t really anything close to the exciting celebration of Pedro Alvarez’s debut we were all hoping for. This game was very, very ugly. PNC Park didn’t have that buzz fans were expecting. I suppose walk-up […]

Pirates (19-25) at Reds (25-19) 7:10 PM EST–Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati Here is the MLB.com Gameday TV: FSN Pittsburgh, FSN Ohio When the Pirates swept away the then-hapless Redlegs at PNC Park in mid-April, who would have thought Cincinnati would be thinking division title a month later? That’s exactly what they’re doing, down just […]

Well, Charlie Morton wasn’t absolutely awful. His fifth loss and the 6 runs may indicate otherwise, but tonight was a big step forward for Charlie. Morton lasted six innings and allowed three earned runs, which technically qualifies as a quality start. He allowed a two-run shot to Andre Ethier in the first, and loaded up […]

The Pirates swept Cincinnati out of Pittsburgh with yet another victory on Sunday afternoon, and they didn’t even need a late-inning rally to do it. Paul Maholm pitched extremely well, going 6.2 innings while allowing just two runs on four hits, a walk, and five K’s. He was far more efficient than his first two […]

Ouch. Remember my endless cries for Daniel McCutchen this spring? Yeah, I said, he’ll allow some hits and even some homers, but at least he’ll keep the Pirates in the game and give them a chance to win! He certainly didn’t today. The Pirates scored some runs off Edwin Jackson early on, and D-Cutch allowed […]

Not much went right for the Bucs this afternoon, and as a result they dropped their first game of the year. Had to happen sometime. Still, they’re heading to Arizona tied for first place (thanks Reds!) with a series win against a very good team under their belt. Can’t complain. Paul Maholm wasn’t terrible in […]

So is it safe to say the Pirates own CC Sabathia? For the second time this week, the Bucs pounded the same dominant lefty that was a split-second bobble away from no-hitting them a year and a half ago. After lighting CC up for five runs in less than three innings on Tuesday, they put […]
